Description:

Blink is a `linker' for BASIC files. It scans a BASIC program for LIBRARY
commands. Then it looks for any PROCs or FNs that are used in the main
program, and defined in a library. These are then appended to the main
program.

This enables you to develop your programs using procedures from a library.
When you have tested your program, you can use blink for the final assembly.
You can use multiple libraries. The libraries may contain procedures that you
do not need in your current project; if they are not used, blink will not
include them.
